... and they did get not help from DT1
Many have, and many more will as long as they don't listen to the likes of you.do you really think it would be better if there was no red trust? 
Where did you read this in my post? My point is that new registered users should not have by default DefaultTrust in their trust list. This list should be chosen consciously by each user.Let's toss everyone into chaos.
These are your words, not mine. After all if we can protect some users, why should we? It's their responsibility to protect themselves
I do not see any "protection" on which you insist. Eventually, the user will have to decide to work with an other user or not.
I thought we would have a friendly conversation here.
Bullshit doesn't deserve friendly responses.It turns out you want to decide for the majority of users of this forum? Maybe we will not teach everyone. But I am sure, that we do not need centralization.
I am 100% convinced you've first heard the word decentralization when you encountered Bitcoin. Sometimes false knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. Every active user of Bitcointalk must know about DT1, DefaultTrust and what is mean. That is my point.
How many "active users" know about these things now? < 10% (if I'm being extremely optimistic)? Heck, we even have DT members that don't fully understand how the system works. Hence:I'm not sure whether this is utopian-styled "we can educate everyone on the planet not to be naive", or dystopian-styled "throw everyone infront the bus, it's their responsibility" thinking. Whichever it is, it is wrong.
How do you expect a person just learning a topic to choose who to trust?
I'm going to assume that the answer is "God will protect me and punish the scammers".
